To assess the current state of teeth in elderly cadres in Shenyang City.
According to the standards of the 2nd national oral health sampling survey, 961 elderly cadres, above 60 years old, were examined. The results were processed using SPSS.
67.12% had dental caries and among them 33.18% were completely treated. The mean numbers of decayed and filled teeth in persons with caries become higher with the increase of ages (P<0.05). 80.65% of individuals had lost partial or all of their teeth. The mean number of lost teeth was 7.38. The number of teeth present had a negative correlation to ages (P<0.01). The state of periodontal health also had a negative correlation to ages(P<0.01). 10.20% was the edentate and 98.98% of them were wearing complete dentures. Among the elderly with part of their teeth lost, 36.04% had prosthetic restoration.
Teeth loss is common in elderly population. Dental caries and periodontal diseases are two main causes. To increase the treatment rates of dental disease, it is evident to improve the oral health awareness in elder persons.
评估沈阳市老年干部的牙齿现状。
按照第二次全国口腔健康抽样调查标准,对961名60岁以上老年干部进行检查。结果采用SPSS软件处理。
67.12%的人有龋齿,其中33.18%已得到彻底治疗。患龋者的龋坏牙数和补牙数均随年龄增长而增多(P<0.05)。80.65%的人有牙齿部分或全部缺失,平均失牙数为7.38颗。存留牙数与年龄呈负相关(P<0.01)。牙周健康状况也与年龄呈负相关(P<0.01)。无牙者占10.20%,其中98.98%佩戴全口义齿。在部分牙齿缺失的老年人中,36.04%进行了义齿修复。
老年人牙齿缺失情况普遍。龋齿和牙周疾病是两大主要原因。提高老年人群口腔健康意识对提高牙病治疗率至关重要。
